[Q&A] Work And Travel (WAT)

[jasmine]

Hi,

 

I just got from from US WAT and was hooked on it. Was wondering if there's any other countries that offer WAT too other than US? I heard from my friend that New Zealand and Australia offers it.

 

Please do share if you know esp. application and requirement. Even if it's not work and travel but something close, please do share. Thanks

Oh work and travel in US was a smashing fun time for me. I really enjoyed travelling and meeting friends, of course not forgetting shopping. It entirely different from the normal tour or holiday you go for as I am practically living in US like one of them for 4months plus. Well actually as much as we always want to migrate overseas, I miss Singapore alot too! Mainly for the food

Have you applied for it before? How do you look for employment and do they require sponsors(something like guardian)?

i wanted to apply last time but didnt have enuff money.for employment you can try find online like gumtree.com.looks like UK has closed the working holiday visa.i'm not very sure if they require sponsors or not but i think u can apply for the visa 1st then get a job later.i used to work in the airport check-in counter last time n came across a few sgporeans with WH visa in their passports.IIRC,i had a small chat with them n say they will find jobs there.
